Pete Sinclair of Night Shining, Inc. has just sent out a new email update regarding RoboCon 2018, the unofficial spiritual successor to BotCon. Registration is still open and there are two customization classes available to take, with more surprises yet to come. Below is a copy of the full email message.

Good evening!

We are already less than 5 months away from Pete’s Robot Convention AKA RoboCon 2018! A couple quick updates. If you have not heard, we have added not one but TWO Custom classes to this years show. You can choose from either Shattered Glass Swoop with a new face sculpt and/or the Collectors’ Club Gorilla Pretender Shell customized in to a Pretender Shell for you Legends class Gears. (You can also add a second Gorilla Pretender Shell, the character to be announced in the next couple of weeks…)

We will also be announcing additional vendors and artists very soon! Our exhibitor hall is almost sold out so if you know any dealers that you want to see at the show tell them to get their booth ordered before they are all gone!

"When there's gold feathers, punch behind you!!"“Critics who treat 'adult' as a term of approval, instead of as a merely descriptive term, cannot be adult themselves. To be concerned about being grown up, to admire the grown up because it is grown up, to blush at the suspicion of being childish; these things are the marks of childhood and adolescence. And in childhood and adolescence they are, in moderation, healthy symptoms. Young things ought to want to grow. But to carry on into middle life or even into early manhood this concern about being adult is a mark of really arrested development. When I was ten, I read fairy tales in secret and would have been ashamed if I had been found doing so. Now that I am fifty I read them openly. When I became a man I put away childish things, including the fear of childishness and the desire to be very grown up.”-- C.S. Lewis
